2018 HasLab - TVC Jabba's Sail Barge (The Khetanna)

[Jeff]

unless you're literally on the fence I just can't see that being what gets $500 out of your wallet

Well, if you are a completist TVC carded collector who is looking at paying $500 for POTF Yak Face on ebay in Spring 2019, you might as well just buy it now and get a free Barge with it. 

Seriously, if the POTF carded version of Yak Face is only coming with the Barge and they only make 5000ish, that would make it possibly the rarest modern carded Star Wars figure ever.  Rarer than the Toy Fair Vader or Theater Edition Jedi Luke or anything else.  Couple that with the crazy ebay rates some of the modern TVC figures go for and it's probably (sadly) worth it to just order now if you need the figure for your complete TVC collection.

Seems to be working... 2953 now.

I hope you guys are right

I'll be immediately selling my carded Yak Face to (re)fund my Sail Barge purchase! 

Cool pack in, and this may indeed get a bunch of people to buy this just for the figure.

So, I have a theory that the totals on HasLab are not accurate.

I placed an order the first day and order number, today I ordered a second
order #314071XX* - 2/17/18
order #314131XX* - 3/21/18
=================
a difference of 5988

Haslab is currently sitting at 2984 barges "sold". Why the discrepancy?

*XX=redacted

a) because the order numbers are not truly sequential
b) because of Hasbro shenanigans
c) a wizard did it?


In other news, over 3000!

Could be its a common back office order system that is incrementing order numbers for things other than just Sail Barges.  Maybe internal employee orders for Monopoly...

That's such old news, it's a 3,028 now.

After today I'm starting to think there's actually a chance again.

Totally spit balling and I know nothing about this stuff, but maybe orders get a certain digit near the front based on geography?

Given the incessant bitching that STILL hasn't ceased since the SDCC micro carded mouse droid and Salacious Crumb, I think it's definitely possible.  Hell, people still bitch about that Jar Jar in Carbonite, and Jar Jar eats it.

Apparently the POTF card is exclusive to the Sail Barge and the figure will be mass released on a Vintage ROTJ card

[Darby]

Over 3100 as of right now. They're next SW offering should definitely involve a carded/boxed figure(s). >.>

Agreed.

A big ticket item and a "break" the following year.

[Pete_Fett]

Impressive how the backer pace has picked up as a result of this exclusive packaging Yak Face news.

[Mister Skeezler]

3,167 this morning. I guess people like Yakface!
